This review of the 2020 presidential candidates is so one sided that it has to be considered humor. This is inevitable because these Democrats are a joke. So, without encouraging Right thinking Americans to underestimate the task of winning a presidential election, lets all have a good laugh at the idiots opposed to POTUS 45. Unfortunately I have run out of jokes. Some categories could use more comments. Does anyone have any suggestions? I will seek your permission by private message before I repost your joke(s) to my blog unless you give me that permission first. Please indicate by post...

Here goes another round of what stupid things will celebrities say about Trump during a crisis. This is Cher and she types in all-caps, which is clearly a warning sign. I don't know if the amount of makeup and plastic surgery she's gotten has destroyed her brain, or...

In November of 2011, the TV show 60 Minutes did a big expose on insider trading within Congress. While everyone else is subject to basic insider trading rules, it turned out that members of Congress were exempt from the rules. And, as you would imagine, many in Congress have access to market-moving, non-public information. And they made use of it. To make lots and lots of money. Of course, after that report came out and got lots of attention, Congress had to act, and within months they had passed the STOCK Act with overwhelming support in Congress to make insider...

The coronavirus outbreak is exposing the vast differences between how the rich and poor live in America in 2020. The gaps became clear almost immediately, when companies and governments began advising employees to work from home. Bankers and corporate employees could go remote. People working on the front lines of the restaurant and retail industries could not, especially as stores were flooded with panicked people stockpiling pre-isolation. "What do I do?" a Walmart employee told Hayley Peterson and Shoshy Ciment in early March. "I'm scared. I'm scared to lose my job and I'm scared to die from the coronavirus. Please...

Revelations that several senators privy to inside information on the coronavirus managed to sell some of their stocks before the market crash has inspired accusations that they broke the law. The specific law in question is the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act. This law was passed by Congress and signed by President Obama in 2012. Violations could result in prison terms of up to 20 years and fines up to $5,000,000. Sen.

U.K. law firm Mishcon de Reya LLP, the law firm that handled Princess Diana's divorce, told its attorneys stuck at home to turn off Alexa or Google Assistant when they are discussing sensitive matters pertaining to any client.

Hancock also notes that his firm is less worried...

Pennsylvania State Rep. Thomas Murt (R) is pushing a permit requirement for ammunition purchases throughout the state. His legislation — HB 2344 — has been referred to the PA’s House Judiciary Committee and is filed with the memo, “Addressing Gun Violence and Enhancing Public Health and Safety.” Page 21 of the 25-page bill sets forth details of Murt’s proposed “Ammunition Purchase Authorization Permits,” saying, “A person holding an ammunition purchase authorization permit issued under this section may purchase or otherwise seek the transfer of ownership of ammunition from a retailer that sells ammunition.” The proposed permits would be valid for...

New York women are coronavirus crushing on Andrew Cuomo: ‘Is he single?’ He’s the new Luv Guv. Women are crushing on Gov. Andrew Cuomo — calling his coronavirus press conferences their daily “fix” — during this state of emergency. Denise Albert, a 45-year-old divorcee on the Upper West Side, is officially smitten. “For me, it was when I heard him say, ‘My mother is light and joy,’” Albert, co-founder of multi-media company The Moms, told The Post. “What also got me was his speaking about family dynamics — disagreeing with his brother about where his mom should be. … It’s...

From the PM's speech: "Because, my message to you this evening is not an easy one to hear. "The reality is that coronavirus is here in our midst, and for the time being it is here to stay. "There is no quick or easy solution to this intensely difficult situation. "The reality is also that in the coming period a large proportion of the Dutch population will become infected with this virus. "That’s what the experts are telling us now. "They are also telling us that – as we wait for a vaccine or treatment to be developed – we...

A new Ipsos/ABC poll released Friday shows 55 percent of Americans approve of the president’s response with 43 percent disapproving.

In the early days of the Chinese Virus...

French authorities impounded two lorries carrying some 130,000 masks to health workers in Britain’s embattled hospitals, following President Emmanuel Macron’s pledge to “requisition” all stocks in his territory. The move followed hot on the heels of French border guards seizing another heavy goods vehicle carrying hand sanitiser to Britain the day before. The incidents triggered a diplomatic spat between the two countries as Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) struggles against the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.

So I was at my local grocery store. I saw a Mom and Son with full 'Chinese Flu' gear. My mental note said, 'Don't be like this'. So the was a picture taken. Public place - GA. I walked around and was soon confronted by the 20ish son. He demanded that I delete the picture. I told him 'NO' I pulled out my copy of the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. I told him show me where it says that I cannot do this? He called the police and I walked by them and nothing was said to...

The mainstream media in the United States has breathlessly reported that the death toll there means the virus is far more dangerous than has been reported. But a new study made a stunning finding: 99% of coronavirus deaths in Italy were of patients with existing medical problems, which all doctors say makes people more prone to adverse effects from the virus. “Research into 355 deaths found that only three of the victims, 0.8 per cent, had been clear of illnesses before they were infected,” The Daily Mail reported. “Nearly half of them – 48.5 per cent – already had three...

Thomas Murt introduced HB 2344 and filed it with the memo “Addressing Gun Violence and Enhancing Public Health and Safety,” . . . The bill says that the cost of the permit will not exceed $50 and also adds a tax on gun and ammunition sales. Residents would also be barred from bringing in ammunition bought from other states without coordinating with a licensed dealer.

After watching the outbreak of COVID-19 for the past two months, I’ve followed the pace of the infection, its severity, and how our world is tackling the virus. While we should be concerned and diligent, the situation has dramatically elevated to a mob-like fear spreading faster than COVID-19 itself. When 13% of Americans believe they are currently infected with COVID-19 (mathematically impossible), full-on panic is blocking our ability to think clearly and determine how to deploy our resources to stop this virus. Over three-fourths of Americans are scared of what we are doing to our society through law and hysteria,...

Three polls released late this week show a majority of Americans approve of President Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 Chinese coronavirus crisis. The approval numbers have risen as as Trump has led daily televised press briefings on the government’s response to the virus. By coincidence a call has gone out by liberals, led by MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, for a media blackout of the briefings because they say Trump will get people killed because of his rhetoric. The ABC News/ Ipsos poll has Trump up at 55 percent, the Harris poll at 53 percent and Survey USA at 51 percent. UPDATE:...
